Recently Instagram improved and updates themselves, giving a set of new policies. Which are expected to get implemented by January of the coming year. But what are those updates?? My today's post puts a flash light on some of the most important ones.

Policy Changes!

So folks listed below are some of the policies changes that have taken place at Instagram, not only for their own benefit but largely for the benefit of their users.

Sharing Information Made More Easy!

Before this new move, information sharing only used to take place between instagram and its parent company Facebook, which can be considered as a pretty constricted one. But now, as the policy update states, information sharing circle has increased and now almost everyone on Facebook, the advertisers community in particular, can see the updates and stuff on instagram more easily. Now ads seeing made much more easy.

Becoming A Star Without Even Knowing!

This a mixed response type of policy change that instagram has brought within its system. This change concludes that instagram will be able to use your images and your data for advertising, without even knowing. Now this point has 2 aspects, one that without your permission this isn't a really good idea as everyone has right over his identity.

Secondly, you can become a star as through this approach you can easily get a number of fan following. The company supports the second point, as according to them you can easily become a star by advertising your photos on advertisements. And the best part, your data and photos can even be taken from Facebook.

No Underage User Issue!

This might be a good news for our friends who are below the age limit to use Instagram, i.e 13 years. Now one can use instagram if he even falls below the required age limit, keeping that one point in mind that this opportunity can only be availed if parents or guardian know about this activity of yours. Apart from this, photos and advertisements can be updated as routine.

Ads Not To Be Labelled As Ads!

One of the clauses also said that ads posted wont particularly be called "ads", as company does belong in a sort of things in a wider context. Well, this is a pretty confusing clause, as ads is an ad, what should it be called instead of?

What To Do If Disagree?

With the above mentioned clauses of the newly updated instagram policy, if you don't agree or wish not to carry on with the new terms, then the only way out you have is to delete your account. Because if you sign into your account through any media, it indirectly means that you agree to the new set of policies and thus are liable to all the new conditions put forward.
